Look at my large handsome dog behaving so well in such a public place. Or look at my cute little substitute baby in her stroller with pink ribbons in her fur. There are many varied themes to this, but the realization is that it’s not about the diog, it’s about the owner! The dog may suffer, but the owner has the spot light. Leave your pets at home if you truly care about them,
